It is a big addition for Josh Pastner, who had the recruiting class he stood to inherit gutted by John Calipari. As it stands, the Tigers line-up will probably look something like this (assuming Shawn Taggart pulls his name out of draft consideration):

F - Pierre Henderson-Niles

F - Shawn Taggart

F - Wesley Witherspoon

G - Roburt Sallie

G - Willie Kemp

Bench - Latavious Williams, Angel Garcia, Doneal Mack

Jeff Goodman also expects Pastner to go hard after Noel Johnson, a top 100 recruit recently released by USC.

While Memphis looks like they are once again going to have issues on the perimeter, the Tigers will once again have an excellent front court. Expect another top 25 campaign and C-USA title in Memphis, especially if Stephenson and Johnson sign.
